Fremantle President Dale Alcock has welcomed the opportunity to work with the City of Fremantle, South Fremantle Football Club and the Fremantle community on a potential development at Fremantle Oval. 

"Fremantle is our club’s spiritual home, and we welcome the prospect of enhancing the facilities for our players and fans," Alcock said.

"The development project will allow the Club to have a presence in our heartland while enabling our AFL Women’s team to continue playing at the ground in front of the next generation of Fremantle fans.  It will also provide more opportunities for AFL men’s pre-season fixtures to be scheduled at the ground. 

"We love the atmosphere at Fremantle Oval and we are excited to enhance the fan experience and ensure the standard of facilities meets the expanding requirements of the AFLW league as it continues to grow. 

Alcock added that a vibrant Fremantle Oval precinct would enhance not only the Club's football programs, but also the community and fan initiatives of the Club.

"We remain committed to our Head Office and Administration & Training Facility at Cockburn, however this development does allow us to explore the possibility of a more permanent presence for some aspects of our operations back within Fremantle Oval, including potential community, cultural and education facility opportunities.”
